My friend once said that she was raised with the philosophy that as long as there was nice dishes, candles and music, any old meal was instantly great. I always remembered that. I love sitting down to dinner with my family! Joe and I got a few sets of place mats when we were married and those have been what we have always used. Not my first choice of place mats, defiantly not my style and really they are now in terrible shape. It was about time that we ate dinner on something that was worthy of putting dishes on. I enjoy cooking and spend lots of time in the kitchen, our meals deserve some good place mats.
I really should be embarrassed about the not so difficult level of my projects, but you gotta start somewhere to get to where you want to be right? Really, this is something that any one who can sew a straight line can do. Maybe we're not quite to the candle lights and music, but who knows, maybe we can pull off a good looking place setting on Sundays.

So cute Jamie. What do the backs look like? You are getting so much done! I can't believe it.
LOVE! I know, seriuosly, slow down or start a magazine or portfolio or something! Everything is so great and fun! You make it seem so easy, and even if it is, you have great style and taste that take all of your projects to the next level!!
They look fabulous. I'm so jealous you're finding time to do all these cute projects. I just bought ugly plastic placemats at Target. I never thought of making my own!
You pick the day and we will finish our project!
Holy Cow Jamie I have been out of the loop for days and days checking out blogs and look what I find??? A ton of posts and super cute ideas and projects. You are amazing. I love them all. What fun ideas. I can't wait for you to come to my house and tell me what to add to our rooms. We are just finishing up our bedroom painting. I love it.
I LOVE them!! That is inspiring. I am with Bryn, you should start a magazine or something. I am just grateful you started this blog!! I am always pulling so many great ideas from here! And you take the most amazing pictures to show them off. I think I will be making placemats soon too! Thanks for the idea.
Adorable. Makes me want to come over for dinner. Miss you guys.
